Yes I've wondered the same thing many times myself. I have a friend who is partially color blind and cannot distinguish blues from greys, but naturally most people can distinguish between different colors. But it is a large assumption to think that all people see them the same. For example, I've always thought that "yellow" lights (at intersections) appear more close to orange, while I know many who insist they are yellow. I am assuming this is a bit of a grey area between people's different visions. You can find that a lot of in-between colors (like sahdes of turquoise and aqua blue) may be described differently by different people, largely because of differences in their respective visions. Interesting argument!
